Anyone have good teee ID app or book resources? One of the east coast states' universities had one, IIRC.

One foot (ankle) ascender, one "floating"/ " knee" ascender. No sit- stand or one leg-powered ascent. I almost always use it SRT. Personally, I climb SRT 95%+. I hate fighting friction. Friction and gravity never get tired.

Yep

Hot Hot water relieves the itch for a few hours, IME.

Have you wanted the braiding lube off?

A lot, lot more. Disposable outer layer. Preventative lotions. Washing immediately after with a wash cloth and soap scrubbing oil off. Wash all gear used.

Respirator!

Yes. One that would require rigging, not cut and chuck. A long, diagonal to the grain hinge

Rain and calm after rain and wind. In the middle of a 150' doug-fir (if my climbline is 250') that started making a crack in the gravel driveway. Barely seen by the neighbor by luck. A house would have been hit by this tree at 70' so probably 1.5' thick. We raked and tamped the gravel to...
